Strategic Framework: http://www.hlf.org.uk/aboutus/whatwedo/Pages/StrategicFramework2013to2018.aspx Funding to Support European Youth Organisations and Networks - deadline 15 November 2012 The European Commission has issued a new call for proposals to support Youth organisations that are active at European Level. The support will take the form of an operating grant for youth organisations that through their permanent, usual and regular activities contribute to the objectives of the ‘Youth in action’ programme. These activities must help encourage young people to participate as citizens in public life, in society and in the development and implementation of European cooperation actions in the broadly defined field of youth. The total budget available is €800,000 and eligible organisations can apply for a grant of up to €35,000. To be eligible for funding applicants need to be either an umbrella organisation or an informal network operating in at least 8 eligible countries. http://eacea.ec.europa.eu/youth/funding/2013/call_action_4_1_en.php Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust - deadline 17 December 2012 Within the UK, the Trust makes grants to both organisations and individuals for activities that relate to: Peace and conflict resolution; Promoting racial justice; Power and responsibility; and Quaker concerns. The Trust tends to fund work that is on a national level and there are no maximum grant limits although the Trust does stress that costings need to be realistic. Previously supported projects include; Asylum Aid, which assists people seeking refuge in the UK . Asylum Aid received a grant of £203,170 from the Trust to support a project that enables women fleeing serious human rights violations to gain protection in the UK; and the British Pugwash Trust which received a grant of £120,000 over 24 months for its WMD Awareness Programme. http://www.jrct.org.uk/ Henry Smith’s Charity - Holiday Grants for Children - opens January 2013 Schools, youth groups and not for profit organisations can apply for grants towards holidays or outings within the UK for children aged 13 and under who are from deprived areas or have a disability. Applications can be considered for holidays or outings that have the objective of providing children with a break they would not otherwise have the opportunity to experience. The maximum grant is £3,000 for any one trip. Grants are normally limited to a maximum of two-thirds of the total cost of a trip as the charity would expect some local partnership funding to be in place. http://www.henrysmithcharity.org.uk/holiday-grants-for-children.html Royal National Children's Foundation - deadline 1 February 2013 Vulnerable children can receive help from the Royal National Children's Foundation (formerly known as the Joint Educational Trust) towards attending boarding and independent day schools. Eligible young people include those aged between 7 and 13 years old; have suffered tragedy or trauma, or be at risk in some way; and be from families who cannot meet the cost of such education unaided. Referrals for support are often received from education, medical and social work professionals. Schools can also refer cases directly to the Foundation. http://www.jetcharity.org/index.html Grundtvig In-Service Training Grants - deadline 16 January 2013 Individuals involved in adult education provision have the opportunity to apply for grants through the Grundtvig In-service training programme to attend practical skill-based courses in a European country and provide personal development opportunities. The funding is available to individuals involved in both formal or in-formal adult education. This can include teachers or trainers; managerial or administrative staff from an adult education provider; a member of staff working with adults with special learning needs; or those intending to work in adult education in the future. There are 3 deadlines for applications each year. http://www.grundtvig.org.uk/page.asp?section=0001000100600003&sectionTitle=In%2DService+Training Landscape Partnerships - opens February 2013 Landscape Partnerships provides grants of between £250,000 and £2million for conservation schemes led by partnerships of local, regional and national interests which aim to conserve areas of distinctive landscape character throughout the United Kingdom. Each scheme is based round a portfolio of smaller projects, which together provide a varied package of benefits to an area, its communities and visitors. The aim of the programme is to conserve or restore the built and natural features that create the historic landscape character; increase community participation in local heritage; increase access to and learning about the landscape area and its heritage; and increase training opportunities in local heritage skills. http://www.hlf.org.uk/HowToApply/programmes/Pages/landscapepartnerships.aspx#.UGLa2kQtCII Fundraising News Preston City Council: Funding policy review 2012 - deadline 19 October 2012 We are proposing changes to our corporate policy on funding the Voluntary and Community and Faith Sector (VCFS) and are inviting your views on the proposals.

  • Social and Cultural Functions of the Local Press in Preston, Lancashire, 1855-1900
    Reading the local paper: Social and cultural functions of the local press in Preston, Lancashire, 1855-1900 by Andrew Hobbs A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire November 2010 ABSTRACT This thesis demonstrates that the most popular periodical genre of the second half of the nineteenth century was the provincial newspaper. Using evidence from news rooms, libraries, the trade press and oral history, it argues that the majority of readers (particularly working-class readers) preferred the local press, because of its faster delivery of news, and because of its local and localised content. Building on the work of Law and Potter, the thesis treats the provincial press as a national network and a national system, a structure which enabled it to offer a more effective news distribution service than metropolitan papers. Taking the town of Preston, Lancashire, as a case study, this thesis provides some background to the most popular local publications of the period, and uses the diaries of Preston journalist Anthony Hewitson as a case study of the career of a local reporter, editor and proprietor. Three examples of how the local press consciously promoted local identity are discussed: Hewitson’s remoulding of the Preston Chronicle, the same paper’s changing treatment of Lancashire dialect, and coverage of professional football. These case studies demonstrate some of the local press content that could not practically be provided by metropolitan publications. The ‘reading world’ of this provincial town is reconstructed, to reveal the historical circumstances in which newspapers and the local paper in particular were read.

  • Preston Bus Station: Heritage, Regeneration, and Resistance
    Preston Bus Station: Heritage, Regeneration, and Resistance Mark Toogood and Hannah Neate Dr Mark Toogood Dr Hannah Neate Geography, School of Built and Natural Geography, School of Built and Natural Environment, Environment, University of Central Lancashire University of Central Lancashire [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Since 2000 Preston Bus Station has twice been threatened with demolition as part of proposed regeneration schemes in the city. Both times there has been sustained public resistance against its destruction. Based on interviews and participant observation, the research on which this paper draws asked why a formerly unloved and unprotected example of Brutalist 1960s architecture has become a public icon. The paper identifies and explores the diverse range and significance of peoples’ articulations and actions — ranging from the local to global; from economic argument to affective and embodied interventions. These articulations are often non-expert, diffuse, expressed within social networks, as well as in inventive performative actions. Such activity has tacitly and productively blurred together forming an ‘assemblage’ of resistance. This assemblage of disparate agents represents a fresh public re-evaluation and democratisation of the building’s value, in addition to rejecting the building’s planned demise. More broadly we suggest that this ‘non-‘ or ‘tacit’ campaign also contests prevalent retail-led, investment-driven urban regeneration and articulates different possibilities for the Bus Station within Preston and its putative redevelopment. Key words Preston Bus Station; heritage; geography of architecture; iconic architecture 1 Introduction Use the term ‘icon Preston’ in a web search and the returns will include images dominated by photographs, predominantly in black and white, of the Brutalist horizontal lines of Preston Bus Station (hereafter PBS).

    Past Epidemics in Preston By Steve Harrison St Pancras Smallpox Hospital, London: housed in a tented camp at Finchley. Watercolour by F. Collins, 1881. Wellcome Collection. Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) In the 19th Century smallpox epidemics led to the erection of temporary hospitals across the country. Sir Robert Charles Brown 1836-1925 Preston’s history contains many periods when highly infectious diseases took hold. There are echoes of some of our current experiences in the past. These include isolation, temporary hospital wards, the deaths of medical staff, disinfection and, at times, despair. Robert Charles Brown’s parents lived on Winckley Square. His father was a surgeon. Charles was born in October 1836. He lived most of his life at the house in which he was born, now 27, Winckley Square. He died there on November 23rd 1925. We are fortunate to have a key source of evidence for his life in the reminiscences Dr Brown wrote when he was in his 80s; ‘Sixty-Four Years a Doctor’. His book includes his experiences of various epidemics during his career in Preston. It also records some of the major breakthroughs in medical knowledge which transformed his work and the lives of those he Charles Brown: Courtesy of treated. Preston Digital Archive A major outbreak of ‘Typhus’ occurred in Preston in 1862. Conditions in the town at the time were desperate. The Lancashire Cotton Famine lasted from 1861- 1865. The American Civil War led to a major disruption in the supply of raw cotton and had a massive impact on the Cotton trade.

The starting point was centred around wool and later cotton became the major commodity that was influencing the economy. Through the inventions of people like Richard Arkwright and James Hargreaves, the textile industry received the technological advance that it needed and this in turn pushed Britain into the world’s major proponent in the textile industry. Further expansions continued until the mid 18th century, when the difficulty in obtaining raw cotton and competition from other countries began to mark the decline for the cotton industry in Britain.

    1 INTRODUCTION Welcome to Preston Remembers’ First World War trails. This trail is one of a set that explores the lives of three very different Preston residents and the impact the war had on their lives. The First World War changed society in ways we could never have predicted. Ordinary Preston residents did extraordinary things, fought for their beliefs and showed immense courage in the face of unimaginably diffcult situations. The trails follow the lives of: Beatrice Blackhurst née Boyce – Farmer’s daughter, domestic servant, solicitor’s wife, mother, suffragist and founder of the Preston Sailors’ and Soldiers’ Free Buffet. Joseph Garstang – Son of a weaver and atheist, market gardener, ftness instructor, member of the Independent Labour Party, conscientious objector, absolutist, prisoner. John Gregson – Plasterer’s son, brother, cotton mill worker, soldier in India, husband, father, tram driver, reservist, corporal, sergeant. Beatrice Blackhurst, 1913 (on the right).

The area of Tanterton that the Operation addressed consists of 1,200 dwellings of mixed tenure of single person and family units as well as a small number of shops and business premises. Historically this area has been problematic due to spates of anti-social behaviour affecting the quality of life of residents, schools and local business premises within the area. Towards the end of Summer 2001 the problems in the area were steadily increasing. A public meeting took place engaging the local community and other statutory and voluntary organisations to enable the problems within the area to be discussed and addressed. Data analysis, shared information and the local knowledge obtained made it possible to identify the core problems of the area. In addition a hard core of local youths, responsible for the greater proportion of the problems within the area were identified. Following this initial meeting a further consultation took place with those key personnel who were in a position to make an impact upon the areas affected. Two sites were identified as being subjected to continuous victimisation, Intag Community Centre and the Pool House Primary School. A hard core of twenty youths were identified as being responsible for the bulk of minor crimes taking place within both of these premises and the offensive and disorderly behaviour that was problematic to those person(s) using the premises.

Contacts PC's Dave Johnson and Gary Salisbury Partners Sue Roach (Preston City Council) Richard Lothian (Collingwood Housing) The Callon estate in the Fishwick ward of Preston was considered, according to the Government Indices of Multiple Deprivation 2000, to be in the top 2% of deprived communities in England and Wales. Levels of crime and incidents of anti-social behaviour were very high and the spiral of decline was well advanced. Vehicle crime, burglary, criminal damage and arson were a regular occurrence, and it was clear that nobody wanted to live in such a place. During 1999 the Police seized the opportunity to initiate a multi-agency problem-solving approach to tackling anti-social behaviour and reducing crime. The overall objective was: TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL RESIDENTS, AND MAKE FISHWICK A SAFE, ATTRACTIVE AND DESIREABLE PLACE TO LIVE. One of the key factors to the success of this project was the commitment from main stakeholders to keep the same people in post until success had been achieved; all have seen this project through and are still in post on the ward. The overall cost of the project is difficult to establish, but estimating time spent by the main stakeholders and capital costs the figure is around £2 million.
